don76 29 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Ok - what is this? If these were authentic Blue Note and Verve pressings it would seem waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too good to be true. Grey label euro trash? Surely? Link to post Share on other sites

Worst case they can go on eBay for $15 each and I’ll use the profit to buy some real records ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for $7 each, what have you got to lose?

Spider27 1,080 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Even grey euro cheapo copy, the price is reasonable not alone reputable label. Definitely worth a gamble in my humble opinion. Great find @RankStranger 1 Link to post Share on other sites
don76 29 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Please report back. If they're legit - that's deal of the year! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BlackCoffee 30 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I picked these up a month or so ago when it was 10 records for $78 shipped (seems the be the same value as this one) and it's the real deal. All excess stock from the Jazz 33 1/3 collectors series. Properly licensed by DeAgostini and genuinely excellent quality pressings. I would recommend I first read about it here: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/zavvi-best-of-jazz-starter-kit-all-time-classics-albums-set-of-10-mystery-vinyl-lp.990763/page-3 2 Link to post Share on other sites

RankStranger 3,751 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Just checked and current special is $68 shipped for 6 records which still isn’t terrible, now that you know they’ll at least show up. even if they’re not great pressings they could be good gifts for that niece or nephew who just got their first turntable.

Some music works better in the context it was created for. I’ve had a digital copy for a while that I’ve listened to a few times but it’s never stuck. I grew up in the 80s so bossa just has a terrible association with d-bags that I can’t shake Also, it’s the only shrink-wrapped one so I’ll keep it that way until I get around to selling it Link to post Share on other sites
